Here's an odd
I took my C350 out of the garage recently to clean my garage up, and parked it on my drive the bonnet was not fully latched as just topped up the washer
When i came to put it back the wiper did a sweep and stopped when not fully in its park position
a few seconds later it slowly moved to its parked position.
Trying the wipers later neither the wipers or the washers work, thinking it may be a fuse i looked at the fuse layout as per the diagram now with the spare wheel and not in the handbook ( that's handy, not )
Wipers and washers are controlled by fuse # 10 which is a 30 amp and 13 which is a 7.5 amp
checked both fuses for continuity with the meter, both OK, both showing battery voltage either side of the fuse when in situ.
Well now i'm stuck, is there a relay contolling the wiper motor, if so anyone have an idea where it may be
Many thanks

After a lot of head scratching, disconnecting the battery and 're boot' that didn't make any difference
Out of desperation i sprayed WD down both sides of the bonnet catch locks ( which were greased) and slammed the bonnet shut
.......... everything works fine again
If you have a W204 worthwhile giving the catches a spray of WD 40 as the micro switch/s overrides many systems including the ECO
